Chapter 1089 Leaping Over the High Wall
"It's impossible. The massive spiritual power gathered in my body is definitely not an illusion," Li Fan thought to himself, quickly using the Water Mirror Technique to check his own appearance.
To his surprise, he found that his face was no longer that of Mr. Bai, but his own!
"This..."
Li Fan felt shocked. "How could this be?"
"The spiritual power obtained from the damaged immortal artifact in the Meteoric Immortal Mirror has actually materialized..."
Just as he was feeling a little confused, the image of Mr. Bai's face suddenly appeared in his mind like a flash of lightning, breaking through the fog.
Li Fan was stunned in place. "So that's how it is."
Yes, although everything Li Fan experienced in the Meteoric Immortal Realm was false, in real history, Mr. Bai did indeed collect and destroy many immortal artifacts, thereby gaining the power to cross the high wall.
"Mr. Bai ultimately did not choose to leave the Xuanhuang Realm. So..."
A gleam of light suddenly appeared in Li Fan's eyes.
His heart also began to beat violently. "The immense spiritual power from back then has been perfectly preserved!"
"It's stored in the Meteoric Immortal Realm! In the final test scene before becoming the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable!"
Li Fan felt the surging power surrounding his body.
At this moment, he already understood.
He had to make the same choice as Mr. Bai did back then.
Whether to inherit this spiritual power and live freely by crossing the high wall, or to give it up and stay in the Xuanhuang Realm as the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable.
Although he didn't know the reason behind Mr. Bai's decision to stay, Li Fan was not as noble as Mr. Bai.
If given the chance to leave, how could he choose to be bound by the Xuanhuang Realm?
Almost without hesitation, Li Fan was about to make the decision to inherit the spiritual power.
But at the last moment, he suddenly hesitated.
"Beyond the high wall...beyond the high wall..."
"Is it truly safe beyond the high wall?"
A big question mark appeared in Li Fan's mind.
His current strength was only equivalent to an ordinary Yuan Ying realm in the Xuanhuang Realm. With the help of the Spirit Wood realm and the power of Tianyang and others, he could barely protect himself in the Xuanhuang Realm.
But once he left the Xuanhuang Realm and came to the area beyond the high wall...
The danger would likely be even greater than when he first arrived in the Xuanhuang Realm as a mortal.
Because there were true immortals beyond the high wall.
The power surge from crossing the high wall could easily attract their attention.
Especially in this world, Li Fan was still entangled in the web of the Faceless True Immortal.
Even if a Yuan Ying realm cultivator struggled, it might not attract the attention of a true immortal. But if a Yuan Ying realm cultivator suddenly became an immortal...
At that time, Li Fan would probably be captured and taken away for research before he even had a chance to react.
After a long period of contemplation, Li Fan finally let out a long breath.
He completely suppressed his eager desires.
After pursuing the opportunity to transcend for hundreds of lifetimes, the chance was right in front of him.
But when the opportunity to escape truly arose, Li Fan hesitated.
Fundamentally, it was because Li Fan's current strength was still too weak.
And he was entirely ignorant of what lay beyond the high wall.
It wasn't that he couldn't leave now, but the risk of leaving was too great.
It was even to the point where Li Fan didn't dare to try, even with the true immortal's help.
"Just a little longer, just a little longer."
"It's not the right time yet."
"For others, once the opportunity to leave the Dark Star Sea is missed, it will never come again."
"But I'm different."
"Since I now know about the existence of this immense spiritual power, I can come and take it at any time if needed."
After a rational analysis, Li Fan's mind finally returned to its calm state.
Since he temporarily abandoned the plan to cross the high wall, now there was another question before Li Fan.
Did he need to inherit the mantle of the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable?
With almost no consideration, Li Fan made a decisive choice.
In ancient times, the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable might have been able to act alone.
But the times had changed.
There might not be much benefit, but the obligations and responsibilities that came with it were clearly visible.
Restoring order, dealing with the transmission of the law, and saving the Xuanhuang Realm from being swallowed by the Immortal Ruins...
Li Fan had no interest in being a savior.
He didn't have any real sense of belonging to the Xuanhuang Realm either.
Now that he had found a way to cross the high wall, his next step was to quickly increase his own strength, or to plan and try to escape using this method to see if it was truly effective and safe.
As for the position of the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable, whoever wanted it could have it.
He, Li Fan, definitely would not join in on this excitement.
Since this test was created by Mr. Bai, Li Fan believed that cultivators would not be forced to make a choice.
As expected, after Li Fan expressed his intention to give up both choices in his heart.
After a long silence, the surroundings began to shake violently.
As if boiling water, it shattered with a roar.
After a slight dizziness, Li Fan finally returned to reality.
"It seems a bit temperamental," Li Fan murmured to himself.
Recalling his experience in the Meteoric Immortal Realm this time, it was a pity that, just like before, he only had a vague and general memory.
Any specific details about cultivation techniques and secrets were not remembered at all.
"If I were to become the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable, perhaps I would inherit the history of the Meteoric Immortal Realm."
"But..."
"It's not worth it, especially in the current situation where I am already entangled in the web of the true immortal."
Li Fan calmed his thoughts.
After some time, he checked the time.
To his astonishment, this journey in the Meteoric Immortal Realm had lasted for more than a year.
It seemed that the time dilation in this test illusion was not the same as in ordinary Meteoric Immortal Realms. It was closer to real time.
Li Fan had a faint understanding in his heart.
This test illusion was not created casually. It probably required a certain amount of energy.
Although Morse Bin had entered the test illusion more than a year before Li Fan, Li Fan had already experienced and known the plot in advance. Morse Bin's actions might not have been as swift as his.
It was possible that he was still in the illusion.
With this thought in mind, Li Fan began to review the events of the past year.
The situation regarding Zhou the law transmitter, who had been unable to contact Li Fan for a long time, led to the guess that Li Fan had successfully entered the test illusion.
He sent multiple messages, asking not only about Li Fan's experiences in the illusion, but also about many things concerning the remnants of the Xuantian School.
Even though the law transmitters such as Chen had passed the Law Transmitter Oath, everyone knew that they were no longer suitable for the highest positions in the management of the Wanxian Alliance.
After a re-vote by the law transmitters, they finally agreed and voluntarily left.
